UE Lifesciences’ iBreastExam was developed from technology invented by a Drexel professor.
Drexel once again ranked in the world’s top 100 universities for patents granted in the United States in the current year’s ranking by the National Academy of Inventors and Intellectual Property Owners Association. The University moved up 18 spots from its rank last year.
The report, which uses United States Patent and Trademark Office data to demonstrate how patents reflect university research and innovation, ranked Drexel at 54, as compared to last year’s standing of 72. In this year’s list, Drexel is in a threeway tie with Emory University and Indiana University.
“Drexel’s ranking among the top universities in the world is a direct reflection of the creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship of our faculty and students,” says Senior Associate Vice Provost for Technology Commercialization Bob McGrath of Drexel Ventures. “Their drive to find novel solutions to challenges and problems makes all of this possible.”
